Quotes 

• Michael Knight : Now I know what getting run over by a truck really feels like.

  KITT : [strained voice box]  Michael, my computer functions are damaged, so I can't make a diagnosis, but you sound terrible. You need a doctor.

• [reacting to the sight of oncoming juggernaut on his monitor] 

  KITT : It appears to be a large... My goodness, large isn't the word, it's enormous!

  Michael Knight : Goliath.

  KITT : I believe it's time for a strategic withdrawal, Michael.

• KITT : It wasn't a fair fight, April. It's like putting Sugar Ray in the ring against a overgrown heavyweight.

  April Curtis : I'm sure it was KITT.

  KITT : It won't happen again, I can assure you of that.

  April Curtis : It better not! We have you patched together with Scotch tape and bailing wire as it is.

  KITT : [referring to Goliath]  If I ever see that snout-nosed ignoramus again...

  Michael Knight : You better hope he is heading in the opposite direction.

  KITT : I'm already reviewing my computer logs of our confrontation. In a matter of hours I will know everything there is to know about that banana-headed bovine!

  Michael Knight : You tell 'em, KITT!

• Michael Knight : Kitt, look at it this way: gambling is all odds. Pure mathematics. Come on, I'll show ya.

  [pushes some buttons] 

  KITT : I'd rather not.

  Michael Knight : Little computer Blackjack, dollar a hand. I'm the house, you're the player.

  KITT : I believe the word is 'sucker'.

• Michael Knight : [taking a look at Kitt's Emergency Schematic Blueprint]  This looks like Greek to me.

  KITT : I beg your pardon?

  Michael Knight : That's just a phrase... that's just a phrase...

• Michael Knight : [Kitt has won the first round of Blackjack]  They call that beginners luck, pal.

  KITT : As I understand it, the phrase is 'Shut up and deal'.

• Michael Knight : [still struggling with Kitt's Emergency Schematic Blueprint]  And I thought putting a barbeque together was hard...

  KITT : Michael, I've never felt this way before...

  Michael Knight : That makes two of us.

  KITT : I mean so vulnerable, so... mortal. Do you think it's possible I could cease to exist?

  Michael Knight : If I don't get you running pretty soon, you can put money on it.

• KITT : Michael, the phrase 'yes and no' is an insult to the precision of the English language.

  Michael Knight : [laughs]  That's why I like it.

• KITT : Michael, I'm getting a reading about a mile further down the road.

  Michael Knight : Alright, what you got?

  KITT : People, an RV, a large plane and - Michael, that brute, that misserable mechanical masher, he's there too. Three to one he won't brutalize me again. Four to one!

  Michael Knight : Ok pal. We're on.

• Michael Knight : Kitt, how big is that weak spot, where the trailer and tractor connect?

  KITT : [showing it on his viewscreen and highlighting the area]  No larger than a quarter.

  Michael Knight : Even David had a bigger target when he went after Goliath.
